Shifnal community garden targeted by vandals

The offenders broke a number of climbing roses at Shifnal Millennium Sensory Garden.

They left footprints over a number of raised flower beds and discarded empty alcohol bottles and other litter in the area.

Police said it was “a thoughtless and deplorable act of vandalism and distressing anti-social behaviour”.

The garden is funded by contributions and maintained by a group of volunteers.

It is open to everyone, but with emphasis on making it accessible to those confined to wheelchairs, those who have a vision or hearing impairment and the less mobile members of the community.

The crime was reported to police on Saturday morning.

Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting incident 0208s of October 20. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org
